Joining Dr Robbie Love is Dr Jesse Egbert and Dr Tove Larsson. Jesse's is an Associate Professor of Applied Linguistics at Northern Arizona University's Department of English. Dr Egbert's expertise lies in utilising corpus linguistic methods to delve into lexical and grammatical variation, with a specific focus on online registers and the language of the law. Also featured on the episode is Dr Tove Larsson, Assistant Professor of Applied Linguistics at the same department. Dr Larsson specialises in corpus linguistics, learner corpus research, register variation, and research methods. Her insights provide valuable perspectives on the application of corpus linguistics in diverse contexts. The discussion revolves around their collaborative publication, "Doing Linguistics with a Corpus: Methodological Considerations for the Everyday User," available online as an open-access resource on cambridge.org. Listeners can gain comprehensive knowledge of corpus linguistic methodologies and their practical implications through this invaluable resource. Furthermore, the episode highlights two significant corpora. Firstly, the Swedish Learner English Corpus (SLEC), which comprises argumentative texts authored by Swedish junior and senior high school students. This corpus allows researchers to explore the linguistic development of learners and investigate their writing patterns. Secondly, we delve into the Lancaster-Northern Arizona Corpus of American Spoken English (LANA-CASE), an American English counterpart to the British National Corpus 2014 (BNC2014). This rich resource contains vast amounts of anonymised, transcribed, and freely available samples of spoken language, enabling researchers to gain valuable insights into American English usage.
